Agastache is a perennial plant that I’d love to have in my garden. There are several different sorts and colours, and they all attract bees and butterflies. It’s got these bright upright flowers that catch one’s attention, which is fitting for a scarf with bright contrasting stripes.
As it always seems to go with my designs, one idea leads to another. This scarf pattern is a variation of a scarf I knit several years ago for my husband with only 2 colours, and is similar to the new Season of Gratitude scarf Advent pattern. The two colour twin pattern to the Agastache scarf is the Anise Hyssop scarf, which just happens to be another name for the same plant!

This scarf is a multicoloured scarf- you’ll need 2 skeins of contrasting colours yarn and as many or as few matching mini skeins for the stripes between sections.
The 2 main colours will look nicest in (semi)solid or slightly speckled yarns. Or choose one wild skein and tone it down with a matching (semi)solid contrast.

The scarf begins in the center with a few mitered squares. After knitting them together into a larger square, the sides are then worked after each other. There’s a mix of intarsia knitting and normal full rows of one colour, so keep an eye out, or you might need to frog! Due to the way of increasing and decreasing, the stitch patterns will migrate towards the edges.
It’s completely up to you to add an i-cord edge.
